THE WINDOW MOTIF IN VENEDIKT EROFEEV’S POEM MOSCOW — PETUSHKI

Abstract

The article examines the motif of the window in Venedikt Erofeev’s poem Moscow — Petushki. All the cases of the use of the word «window» in the poem are identified, and it is shown that, unlike most travelogue writers, the narrator of the poem doesn’t study the outside world through the window, but rather tries to look out of the window as rarely as possible.
